In Memory of Mary Chappell Laycock
Posted on August 18, 2011
Mary C. Laycock, leading math educator and generous RAFT supporter, passed away recently. Long-time members of RAFT will know this great lady who did so much to give all educators hands-on methods to teach mathematics effectively. She believed that mathematics could be grasped by students of all ages with different learning styles. Mary’s books are available at RAFT and her teaching methods are covered in the summer Math Institute workshops.
We will miss this friend of RAFT. See obituary of Mary’s life and legacy and how to help RAFT continue her work per the wishes of her family.
